The Chief of Staff of the Iranian Armed Forces said earlier on International Al-Quds Day celebrations that the Israeli occupation entity today is up against unprecedented series of challenges and crises on its internal front.
The top Iranian general stressed that "the countdown to the collapse of the Zionist entity has begun, and it will not exist in the near distant future" and that "it was proven through experience that normalizing relations with the Zionist entity is a failed step."
At the same time, Al Mayadeen correspondent reported that "about 700 boats are taking part in the naval parade in the Iranian port of Bandar Abbas in solidarity with Al-Quds, and about 2,700 marine vessels are participating in the event in other Iranian ports, accompanied by military vessels and battleships."
